She recently broke down during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians while discussing the relationship: “I just honestly can’t do this anymore,” she said through tears. “Why am I still in this place where I’m stuck for years? He goes and moves to a different state every year. I have to be, like, together so I can raise the kids. I think he deserves someone that can go support his every move and go follow him all over the place and move to Wyoming. I can’t do that. He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything, and I can’t.”

Jenner posted her own picture with Scott as well.

“Happy father’s day @travisscott,” she wrote. “One day isn’t enough to honor the dad you are. We are so blessed to have you.”
